My husband had stage 3 tonsil cancer (caused by HPV) last year. I
have been tested and came up clean, but remember that 90% of the
population has been exposed to HPV and in most cases our systems can
flush the HPV out in about 3 years. Everyone seems to think that
men won't get cancer from HPV. They're wrong. It's rare
mind you...but it does happen. I don't know if I gave it to him
at some point or if he got it from someone else, but to me it doesn't
matter..and you can be faithful and still have it. They still
don't have all the answers for how HPV can be passed on from one person
to the next. Sexual contact, sure, but now they're saying it
could be passed on via a public toilet seat. They still don't
know. And there is no test for HPV for men at this point, just
the testing of a tumor.
